The principal philosophy for Denham Garden Village is to bring essential care to people's homes rather than retiring then to more conventional care facilities. In this respect the village provides a comprehensive range of health and fitness facilities including G P surgery, gymnasium, solarium and swimming pool. Community facilities include a library, public-house, village hall, a comprehensive range of shops, private and communal gardens.

The tranquil village environment is sustained by minimising vehicle access with preference given to establishing cycleways and pedestrian footpaths; subsequently the residents are encouraged to utilise the excellent transport links to London.

The development embraces the ethics of renewable and sustainable design; utilising a practicable / viable combination of "passive" building forms and "active" energy conservation measures – a key requirement of the Employer's Requirements.
